Vucetich Semana 2 -- Email from 26 October 2015

Hey,

The location of Matt's new area. Vucetich, J.C. Paz, Buenos Aires

This week was really good. I get along really well with my
new companion and he is a beast. Like a really good missionary. We are working
really hard together and this next week we should have four baptisms. This area
is huge, nothing like my older area. It’s like this size of a small town, and
everything is spread out. It is really poor. Like really poor. Many people live
in one room houses, and pretty much everyone is outside all of the time. All of
the streets are of dirt. It’s like 40 minutes from Pacheco my first area, more
in the other direction from capital. One of our investigators that we are
teaching her is named Porfiria (Por-fid-eya), and she is from Paraguay. She is
like 40 and all of her kids are already members and she is excited to get
baptized this next Sunday. Here’s the kicker. She can’t read. We are teaching
her to read and teaching her the gospel. It’s like two birds with one stone
haha. And then we have a family named the family Fernandez. In the family there
are Oscar and Sarah, the mom and dad. They are going to get married in the
first week of December, and are going to get baptized that first week, but
there three kids, Stefani, Anthony and Adrian are going to get baptized this Sunday
as well. We are also working with a couple other possibilities. But this week
was really good. I’m exhausted.

On another
note, we started to do a ton of exercise and we are eating really healthy. I’m
going to try and bulk up a ton and then cut off all of the fat for when I get
done with the mission in 10 months. You should send a couple of boxes of protein
bars and some money if you can for Christmas. AND I NEED GUMMY VITAMINS, LIKE
TWO THINGS TO LAST ME TO THE END OF THE MISSION. And FOUR MORE RAZOR HEADS.
Other than that, be creative and surprise me! :) If you have any questions let
me know!
